The church is the light of the world - and when the light shines, the dark hates it. That's why it's not easy. There are obstacles and difficulties. The early church faced relentless persecution, but their faith, commitment, and sacrifice carried the gospel forward.
If we do not take this seriously right now - if we do not face up to the forces of evil - the dark is moving in. Across our neighborhoods and communities, the enemy is stalking our children, our families, our churches.
We are in a critical stage of instability and fear in the world today. That's why it will take men like you who follow Jesus with all your heart and with courage to step up right now.
In a powerful word, Robert Barriger lays it out for you and me. Here are just a few key points.
-
We are called to the hard places because all the easy places are taken.
-
Who are the voices you are listening to?
-
Have you caught anything?
-
Sacrifice is always the price of the gift of love.
Invest a few minutes to watch and listen... get this in your spirit.
We're past the time to be satisfied with just having a nice-looking church ... we need warriors. Men willing to scrap and hustle and work and take the pain to achieve victory.
We can't hire someone else to do this - it's on us.
